Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Wants Lightweight Title Bout With Flanagan Next

Verdejo and Garcia targeting the same food.

I'd take that fight in a year or so. That would be damn good

I just really like watching Mickey Garcia, there is something about him that makes him special, it's like he put together all his families experiences in the ring/sport of boxing and made it his own, much like Floyd jr putting together his families ring experience together.

Mickey is just soooo calm, intelligent and vicious when it comes to ending a fight. I hope he pushes on now after his nightmare with Arum, hopefully his body is refresh and he can take boxing to a new level.

Arum and Haymon are gonna have to work together at some point.

Mikey will be the king of 135 and 140!

And i think they will. That lawsuit is over and done with and they can make a lot of money with one another

Verdejo/Garcia would be another chapter in the Mexico/PR rivalry, very easy to sell. However, I wonder if Arum believes Verdejo is ready. Verdejo may have the physical advantages, but that chin hasn't been tested yet.

I have no doubts that Mikey will take over the 135 division and be back on p4p lists soon

yeah, which is why late next year is the absolute earliest we would see that fight

Yeah, give Verdejo a little more seasoning. He needs to step up vs someone tough, but not quite Mickey's level.

Meantime, I'd like to see Mikey fight Linares for the WBC title. Garcia might need another fight at 135 to shake the rust, but Linares is the top dog right now at 135.
